Knees (have had surgery on one and it is becoming arthritic), achilles (have had one reconstructed and the other is beginning to have the same injury symptoms), two bulging disk in lower back, have separated both AC joints (one is arthritic), tears in both RC's, and arthritic fingers on both hands.
Only 38 and I can tell a tremendous slowdown in recovery and amount of 'pain' over the last year. |

dude. talk to your doc about some steroids. If you're suffering that bad in recovery the steriods should reduce inflammation and help with the physical side of it.

I'm 41 and I still hoop with my son (Jr in HS) and his friends. I know I don't have the jumping and quickness and all those athletic abilities I used to have. Not that I was every super athletic or anything but I was pretty damn quick in my heyday and could blow by most people. Still, I am able to compete with those youngsters by playing hard and using my experience and not playing selfishly. Some days are really good and some are bad. Usually it's just somewhere in between.
I have had 3 major ankle sprains over my years of hoops. By major I mean on crutches for days/weeks. Not your normal every day tweak that you walk off for a few minutes and then go back to playing. It is really noticeable the mornings after playing hoops. When I first get out of bed I can barely walk. I have to go slow until my ankles loosen up a bit. Also, I only play every other day, at most. Also, it's really hard for me to play 2 days in a row. Sometimes the boys want to go to the Y say on a Monday and then again on Tuesday. My body just can't take that kind of abuse. The few times I have tried it I'm pretty much not very good that second day. The old body just needs a day in between to recover, I guess. Of course, part of that is because I could stand to be in better shape. Another thing I have noticed is that I have a little soreness in my knee lately. I've been lucky to never have had knee problems so I'm just going to ignore it for now. Then there is the occasional day where I want to hoop but I can't because my back is killing me. My theory is that I need a new mattress because it always seems to be when I wake up in the morning. I don't know if I just slept on it wrong or what but it sucks. I also like to walk and take the occasional bike ride. These are the things you deal with when you get older. But none of this should stop you from staying active.

Eh... I'm 38 years old, and while I have some aches and pains I didn't feel years ago, I guess I'm not to a point where I am suffering enough to relate. I sure can't fap a dozen times a day anymore.. or maybe I just don't want to.
Could always be worse. Every day, I watch my neighbor across the street take about an hour (wheelchair) to get himself into his car. So as far as dealing with the depression (without knowing the extent of age issues), I'd say to not take the good aspects for granted. |

getting older is what it is, but it beats the other alternative
